Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g Firm Tofu
  • 60 ml Soy Sauce

  • 100 g Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 15 ml Rice Vinegar
  • Nori Sheets

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tofu by cutting it into 1.5 cm thick slabs and marinating in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Coat the tofu by dipping each slab into panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
  3. Fry the tofu in heated oil for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Cook the sushi rice as per instructions until done, usually around 20 minutes.
